headaches, loss of appetite and ambi-

what to do, can sum up the first four
and half or five years Of my expert

the whole stuck to my work. kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
or and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now we'll de-

regular had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in

rapidly that | soon became unable to

room to room in my own house only by
friends holdingme up by each arm. The
doses of qunine were increased until l
often took thirty grams nj Il dose The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long, scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech, NV temper

it in disgust l lived on quinne and
other stimulants and on myself, like
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in a whirl, and the liquor-giveA

sick could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weightl
ran down to 81 pounds-the weight
Of light girl-and was scarcely better
than a skeleton.
If anybOdy had taken a Ratchet and
Knocked me dorm and killed ME I should
hare been better off.
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said;
miller, there's no use in my taking
any more money of you, | can't do you
any good. | might pour pounds of qui-
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you"
On the strength of this l gave up the
nse of qunine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
py chances.
Three weeks afterwards about the
last Of May-my wife saw an advertise
ment Of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. ! said: STUFF and
nonsense! it can't do me any good"
But she went to a druggists, neverthe-
ess, to get it. The druggist advised
ler against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on it, &c.
He said he didn't keep it, but could get
It if she insisted on having it. Turn
lng away in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor Mr.. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her a bottle at drug store in
sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, began taking it. In
one week was better. / began to
sleep. | stopped "seeing ghosts" I
began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first Of
June 1886 and by the end of that
month ! was back at my bench at c. P.
Smiths scroll saving factory in 10th
street, where | work now.
Since thru | have never lost day
from sickness, Taking Kaskine only,
about forty pellets in four equal doses
Il day, continued to gain. The ma
lalia appeared to be killed in my sys-
TEN, and now I've got back my old
wcight-l75 pounds-aud my old
strength to labor am an astonish-
ment to myself and to my friends, and
if Kaskine did not do this don't know
what did The only greater thing it
could do would be to bring dead man
to life. FREDERICK A. MILLER,
